Why did the ducks cross the road? Whatever the reason, it was the adult (mother?) duck’s idea. (The one standing where the shadow of the wires crosses the shadow of the pole.) The little ones dawdled, blocking a car, until two young women gently shooed them across toward the parking lot. High Street near South Street, Wed. Aug. 8. (Photo by Larry Kuenning)

  1. Striking feathery close-ups. Jane K, love the sunrise reflection in the windows. Thanks to all for contributing!

  2. I have seen plenty of deer with young ones this week, please be careful everyone and give them their space. Beautiful pictures, love the night times pictures.

  3. Fabulous photos. You should contact Sugarwood Gallery Upper Broadway, Farmington to be scheduled for an exhibit.

  4. Great pictures everyone! Jane, I have always been under the impression that Androscoggin meant “plenty of fish.” Interesting to hear a different interpretation.

  5. I am so happy of all the beautiful pictures all who share the wonderful pictures with all of us who love them all every Sunday. Thank You so much again ;-)

  6. Amazing photos! Amazing find of the Black-billed Cuckoo. Or is that common in the Wilton parts? Anyway, thank you as ever for helping us pause and appreciate.

  7. Lovely lighting and composition on that Chestnut-sided Warbler, Tom Oliver! (no easy feat when capturing birds)
